Guys, Need some info here.. I just bought a new sycthe slip stream fan.
I install it to the molex instead of mobo socket.


Once install a couple of minute got some burning plastic smell in the pc...I checked thoroughly and
I manage to isolate the smell come from the new fan!..
the middle hub of sychthe fan smell like plastic burning.
I thought its because the new fan, need some running in of the moving part..so my guess no more smell after couple of hour.

But on the 2nd day..smell is there..even my kids and wife complaining they smell something burning too..


Currently run about 2days around 3-4h a day..

what do you think? is it normal? will go away after a few days OR not normal at all?

please help here....I will continue to monitor a few day.

thanks...

That sounds abnormal. Is the fan still running fine? Is it noisy? My slipstream is quiet and doesnt produce such smell.

You touch the hub and see whether it's really hot?

yes..its running fine bro...not noisy also.....
